In the darkest corners of my mind

Marcella Boccia

Beschreibung

In the darkest corners of my mind,
Where shadows dance and secrets hide,
I delve into the depths of despair,
In search of solace, but find only snare.

The night unfolds its ebony wings,
As melancholy melodies the darkness sings,
A symphony of sorrow, a mournful tune,
An elegy for a soul lost too soon.

In this labyrinth of twisted thoughts,
Where pain resides and hope is naught,
I navigate the corridors of my soul,
Haunted by memories that take their toll.

The ink spills like blood upon the page,
Words become daggers, my heart the stage,
I bleed emotions, a crimson cascade,
Aching wounds that will never fade.

The moon weeps silver tears above,
A witness to this tragic love,
A love that consumes, a love that kills,
A love that suffocates, a love that chills.

In the mirror's reflection, a hollow face,
Eyes devoid of light, a vacant space,
A fragile vessel, cracked and worn,
A fragile mind, shattered and torn.

Oh, darkness, my constant companion,
Embrace me in your arms, the abyss I summon,
For in this realm of shadows and pain,
I find solace, and I am whole again.

But in the depths, a flicker of light,
A glimmer of hope, a fleeting respite,
For even in darkness, there lies a spark,
A chance to heal, a chance to embark.

So I write these verses, these words of woe,
To purge my demons, to let them go,
In the darkness, I find my voice,
A poet's soul, forever my choice.

Born in England – Exploring...

William Wordsworth, John Dryden,...

Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us.

Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy.

In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history.

England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature. Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy. These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art. Genius is written in their names.

In this volume we explore the poets of Cambridge. A small city, with its famed university, with an enviable historical grandeur and roll-call of poets who dazzle, humble and inspire us all in ways that only a poet can. Our poets include Christopher Marlowe, Lord Byron, Rupert Brooke, Alfred Lord Tennyson, John Donne and the talents of very many others.

Mother | Line

Ankita Saxena

What do we inherit from our mothers? From our grandmothers? From the legacy of colonisation and empire? Mother | Line, Ankita Saxena's debut poetry collection, charts lineage in all its forms, delving into female rage, compassion, and endurance. Drawing on the author's British Asian heritage and experiences growing up as a woman in an increasingly violent world, this collection weaves together the personal and the political in ghazals, odes and specular poems, which hold a mirror to the world and to themselves. "We are daughters of Kali", Saxena writes, and "mothers linger on the sides, hearing us become them; / our routines only theirs to thank for, our spices, / our blends, and even our greedy tongues.
"A sublime and considered collection, speaking to, and spanning lineage, inheritance, friendship; what it can mean to be a girl, a woman in the world — across continents, oceans, time." - Rachel Long
